I've had a set for over a year and love them. I brought the 2 + 1 set then brought a 3rd. this is when I found out it had to be programmed to the receiver (not a problem) but I also found out that you can change the colours of the LED's. So if you like all blue or purple for example you can change all your alarms to suit your taste. The only issue I have had with them is the little adjusa nobs work loose and fall off. I super glued mine back on and haven't had any more problems. I have to admit I'm not a fan of the snagging ears and think they make the alarms look kack, but that's just me. Over all a great product that would benefit for a more mainstream battery such as a 9v. I'm looking forward to the 2nd generation to see if they are able to improve the alarms any further, or if this is it. My score is 9 / 10 with 1 being dropped for the battery and the loose nob issue.
HI There, good review, looking forward to the used for a while one. i have to post about the batterys the CR2 ones come in Duracell pack of two for 6 quid from morrisons, these batterys are the same for a motorbike disc lock alarm, i know you can get them from tescos and morrisons in store. yes a few years ago we had to eBay them when our disc lock ones needed replacing but these days you can get them locally now. Ps i have delkims again longtime carper here and i have always had delkims, but these have caught my eye as a change. i like the smart phone add on and the options the receiver has. Thanks again for your review
Good review mate, but what's with the picking out the new anglers and calling them out as constant noise makers what you should do is pull ya head out ya backside and let people learn how to fish without making them feel like a problem over bite alarms, some people don't have pockets full of money to afford quiet mode alarms think about what you say pal 😉
I bought a set today and noticed straight away that on either side of the alarms there is a sticky out bit of plastic that the numbers for the sensitivity and volume line up with so there’s no way you can get lost with the buttons.
I think you have misunderstood what I was saying.the review says that he struggled to work out what setting the dials were on due to the infinite turn,I was just saying there is a bit of the casing at 3 and 9 o’clock that the numbers line up with to tell you which number/setting the volume or sesitivity is on.thanks
They are C2 batteries you can buy sets on Amazon. You can get the more expensive nd ones or a cheaper brand. I brought the Panasonic set and it been fine. Happy Fishing
I have had these alarms for a couple of years now and I got no complaints at all. Great bit of kit for a great price.
